Abstract
Nutrient data were obtained for basidiomycete sporocarps, rhizomorphs and forest floor leaf litter samples collected from a white pine ( Pinus strobus L.) watershed and from a mixed hardwood watershed at Coweeta Hydrologic Laboratory, N.C. Basidiocarps taken from the surface litter of both watersheds were fleshy representatives of Agaricaceae, Cantharellaceae or Clavariaceae. Forest floor basidiocarp samples (cap + stalk) from both watersheds had significantly greater concentrations of Cu, K, Na, P and Zn than the leaf litter from which they were removed. Bulked rhizomorph samples from both watersheds contained significantly more Ca, K, Na and Sr than forest floor leaf litter. Polyporaceae growing on hardwood branches concentrated Al, Mo, P and Zn.
